Transparent Settlement Fund

Calculate every share.
Pay every claimant.

Run a transparent settlement fund where each verified claimant receives their calculated share automatically, with full visibility into the distribution. Built on Escrow and Conditional Settlement, Civil Registry, and Audit Logs, the network anchors each claimant's eligibility and share and disburses payment without leaving thousands of claimants in the dark.

The Foundation

The Execution Mechanics

Turn an opaque, formula-driven payout to thousands of claimants into a transparent, automatically settled distribution.

01.

Verified Claimant Registry

Each claimant's eligibility is registered on the Civil Registry, so only verified members of the class draw from the fund and duplicate or fraudulent claims are excluded.

02.

On-Chain Share Calculation

The distribution formula runs on-chain, so each claimant's share is computed from transparent, auditable inputs rather than a spreadsheet only the administrator can see.

03.

Escrowed Fund Custody

Escrow and Conditional Settlement holds the settlement fund, releasing each share only to a verified claimant, so the administrator cannot misdirect or delay disbursement.

04.

Automatic Disbursement

As claimants are verified, their calculated shares are paid automatically, replacing months of manual check runs with programmatic settlement.

05.

Claimant Visibility

Each claimant can see how their individual share was determined and when it will be paid, ending the black-box experience of traditional settlement administration.

06.

Distribution Audit Trail

The Audit Logs module records every eligibility decision, calculation, and payment, giving the court and class counsel a verifiable account of the whole distribution.

The Distribution Lifecycle

Follow a single claimant from fund creation and eligibility verification to a calculated share and automatic payment.

Smart Contract Anatomy

Cerulea decomposes settlement distribution into modular contracts. Each layer escrows the fund, verifies claimants, calculates shares, and settles automatically without the administrator controlling the payout in the dark.

Applicability Across the Spectrum

Transparent settlement distribution is a horizontal capability. Here is how different actors in a class action put the shared fund to work.

Class Counsel & Administrators

Run a fund that verifies claimants and disburses calculated shares automatically, replacing months of manual check runs with a transparent, court-auditable distribution.

Network & Execution Architecture

Whether you are ingesting claim data from a settlement administrator's system or verifying claimants from their own wallets, Cerulea routes both into one transparent fund.

Track A: Administrator System Bridging

For settlement administrators on legacy claims software. Claim and eligibility records are translated into signed on-chain claimants through the API gateway automatically.

Track B: Claimant Wallet Verification

For claimants submitting from their own devices. A wallet-signed app verifies eligibility and receives disbursement directly from the fund.

Technical Methodology

The legacy timeline reflects settlement administration benchmarks. Building claimant verification, coding the distribution formula, and shipping an escrowed disbursement engine for an average fund takes a baseline of 8 months. Building the same architecture on Cerulea takes a baseline of 2 weeks, because Cerulea Studio visually translates your eligibility and distribution rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the fund escrow and claimant view instantly.
